On the morning of the sixth day, when the sky was just beginning to lighten, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly woke up from his deep sleep. He rubbed his tired eyes with sleepy eyes, then quickly turned over with a start, his movements were clean and neat, without any dragging.

He picked up the broom and swept every corner of the mansion with full concentration. He bent his back and looked extremely focused. Sweat continued to drip down his forehead, but it did not interfere with his persistent and determined movements. Every time he waved the broom, it seemed to carry his endless nostalgia for the past and his implicit expectations for the future, until the entire mansion was completely brand new.

Then, he carefully straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and strode resolutely towards the Hokage Building.

When Sasuke arrived in front of the Hokage Building, his steps stopped abruptly. He stared at the solemn door, as if he could see through the heavy door and see through the intricate schemes and heavy responsibilities. He took a deep breath and tried to suppress the tension and anxiety in his heart.

He slowly raised his hand, paused for a moment in the air, and with a hint of hesitation, gently knocked on the door that symbolized authority and responsibility, and said softly: "Grandpa Sandaime, may I come in?" The gentle and slightly vicissitudes of life's voice of the Third Hokage came from the room: "It's Sasuke, please come in." There was a hint of imperceptible concern in that voice, like a gentle breeze, quietly blowing through Sasuke's heart.

Sasuke gently pushed open the door and stepped into the house. He bowed slightly and saluted respectfully to the Third Hokage. His eyes were filled with awe and determination, and his tone was calm but firm: "Grandpa Third, I have cleared the Uchiha clan's mansion. I came here today to bring back the remains of the clan members and hold a sacrificial ceremony for them at the Nanga Shrine. In addition, there is also the issue of handling the family business, which I would like to discuss with you." He crossed his hands unconsciously in front of him, his fingers trembling slightly, and his inner tension was revealed.

The Third Hokage raised his head, his deep and complex eyes looking straight at the mature and steady boy in front of him. His eyes stayed on Sasuke for a moment, as if he wanted to see through his mind, and then he said in a heavy and guilty tone: "Sasuke, you must be mentally prepared for the remains of your clan members. Some of the remains have lost their eyes, and some precious heritage is missing. According to my guess, it must be Uchiha Itachi who did it."

Sasuke's body trembled violently, and he subconsciously clenched his fists tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, and the veins on his arms instantly popped up. But soon, he loosened his fists again, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down, but he knew in his heart that this was the evil deed of Obito and the Root.

The Third Hokage secretly admired that under the close surveillance in the past few days, Sasuke showed maturity and calmness far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. He has decided to send the Anbu to monitor Sasuke more closely to prevent him from losing control.

"Konoha Village has completed the acquisition of the Uchiha clan's assets for a total of 1 billion taels." The Third Hokage narrated slowly, spreading his hands with a helpless and embarrassed expression on his face. "In view of the village's financial situation, a ten-year repayment period has been agreed upon. A new residence has also been prepared for you."

Sasuke raised his head and looked at the Third Hokage with a determined gaze. He clenched his hands tightly, his knuckles turning white due to the force. He asked in a steady and powerful tone: "Hokage, does the Uchiha clan's living area need further tidying up? Can anyone assist in the handover of industries and shops?"

The Third Hokage nodded slightly, his eyes revealing understanding and sympathy: "We will arrange for people to assist you. However, it will take time to clean up the residence. After all, that tragedy..." At this point, he sighed, and thinking of the tragic scene of the annihilation of the family, his eyes were filled with pain and helplessness, and he shook his head heavily.

Sasuke was silent for a moment, the sadness in his eyes only flashed, and then was replaced by determination: "I understand, Hokage. But I still hope that order can be restored as soon as possible and make it a livable place."

The Third Hokage nodded with a relieved smile on his face: "Okay, I'll try to speed up the process. You should also take care of yourself, and come to me anytime if you have any questions."

Sasuke looked at the Third Hokage with gratitude, stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you Hokage for your concern and support, I will take care of everything." After that, he turned and left, his steps firm and powerful, his clothes fluttering, leaving the Third Hokage alone in deep thought.

Uchiha Sasuke thought to himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen is well versed in political schemes, and is used to using small favors and superficial care to get ninjas to work for him. As the only survivor of the family, he only received 1 billion ryo as compensation, which is simply insignificant for the once glorious family. He must save money carefully, and he also has to deal with the handover of industry and find shops within half a day, which is really busy and stressful.

However, Sasuke knew that the road ahead would be full of challenges, but he was already prepared and ready to face everything fearlessly.
